Those are funny little planes - they're wicked handy when you need one. I like mine a LOT.

They ARE coarsely built, not a "fine" tool, but they do a fine job.

Loosen the little screw SLIGHTLY, then either bump the rear of the iron (to extend it more) or the rear of the plane (to extend the iron less) against a piece of softwood (bench, sawhorse, 2x4, hammer handle). When it's where you want it, tighten the little screw again.

Adjust the plane's mouth (assuming that you're using it as a bullnose plane, not as a chisel plane) by loosening the big screw, then just sliding the bullnose front & rear.

Remember - planes are meant to SHAVE wood. The iron should NOT take off a thick shaving, it should take off a shaving no thicker than one sheet of toilet paper. The iron should BARELY peek out from under the plane.

If your switching to electric shaver or it is the first time
you shave you will need to give your face three weeks to adjust to electric
shavers. Try not to fluctuate back and forth between blade shaving and electric
shaving during the first three weeks.

The reason why you should shave with the hair growth is
because there is less of a chance of nicks and cuts, and because it reduces the
chance of ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Shaving with the hair growth tends to
be a little easier on your skin as well.

First you should thoroughly wet your face with warm water.
Than you should put 5 drops of shaving oil in your hand and massage into your
face.Using shaving oil is advised if
you want to create a goatee otherwise it can be bad as you don't want to
irritate the same spot by shaving it over again because you cannot easily see
where you applied the shaving oil.

According to the Phillips website, it is NOT a waterproof shaver, therefore it is not advisable to use any liquids prior to or during shaving.

However, as a hairdresser and having experience with shaving men for many years, you can use the tried tested and true method of either shaving AFTER you get out of the shower so that your hairs on your face are softer from being in the moisture, or if you are not planning on having a shower, you can just use a hot face cloth on your face for a few minutes before you shave. This will soften the bristly hairs on your face and make it easier to shave.

I hope this helps. Please remember to rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it!
